By Donald Whitehead | Executive Director
The National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH) has had an eventful last few months. In addition to the hiring of Donald Whitehead as Executive Director, NCH has adopted new by-laws to energize its membership. NCH has adopted by-laws that bring coalitions and individual members across the country into the organization's decision-making process. The new structure has already resulted in greater participation in the decision-making process and significant involvement on committees and town hall meetings.
NCH has created a partnership to provide Technical Assistance in several communities. Individuals are providing technical assistance with lived experience who are paid fair market wages for their work.
Currently, NCH has 14 consultants with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) NCH is also awaiting word on three additional partnerships that will increase the number of consultants with Lived Experience. NCH has also expanded its speaker's bureau online and expanded the geographical footprint by enlisting speakers from across the country. Nch also partnered with the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness to sponsor "Hunger And Homeless Awareness Week."
NCH will prepare to release the Homeless Hate Crimes Report in early December.
